What to Expect From Sports Physiotherapy

What to Expect From Sports Physiotherapy

Sports physiotherapy at Forza is one-on-one rehab for people who train: runners, lifters, CrossFit and HYROX athletes, court and field sport players, and anyone whose injury is getting in the way of the training they enjoy.

Who it is for. You do not have to compete. If you have a sore knee from running, a shoulder that complains when you press, or an ankle you keep rolling, sports physiotherapy treats the injury in the context of what you want to get back to.

Your first visit. Your first appointment is a 45 or 60-minute one-to-one assessment. Your physiotherapist reviews your injury, your sport and your training load, screens your movement and runs objective strength testing. You leave with a plan built around your training, including what to keep doing while you rehab.

Follow-up sessions. Each session builds on the last: strength work, sport-specific drills and load management, with your physiotherapist adjusting the plan around your training week and any upcoming events. Follow-ups are one-on-one for the whole session: 45 minutes is $145 and 60 minutes is $190, and your physiotherapist will talk through how often to come in rather than sell you a fixed package.

Fees. A 45-minute initial assessment is $145 and a 60-minute initial assessment is $190. Forza direct bills most major extended health plans in BC, and you do not need a doctor's referral to book.

Not sure where to start? Book a free 10-minute discovery call with a physiotherapist, or book online when you are ready.

When we refer you on. If your assessment points to something that needs a doctor, imaging or a specialist first, your physiotherapist will tell you and help you arrange it. Physiotherapy at Forza works alongside your family doctor and surgeon, not instead of them.

Testing Your Return to Sport

Testing Your Return to Sport

How force plate testing works. You stand, squat, jump or push on force plates while they record how much force each leg produces and how quickly. Dynamometers measure the strength of single muscle groups. The software compares your two sides and tracks the same numbers over time, so your physiotherapist can show you how your injured side compares with the other instead of estimating it.

Retesting shows whether you are ready for the next stage, so progression follows your results rather than the calendar. Sessions run on the Evolve Strength gym floor, so the last stages of rehab look like training: running, jumping, landing and lifting.
